From Roman ruins to remnants of Medieval architecture and from art nouveau buildings to Socialist realism, Budapest’s skyline is a crash course in European history. . . Prepare to be fascinated every time you turn a corner or cross the street. Walking around this city aimlessly was one of my favorite things to do but nothing got me more excited than seeing the different gorgons and mystical creatures that guarded the entrances of so many of Budapest’s buildings. I wouldn’t have been the least bit surprised on spotting Zeus hurling a thunderbolt at Loki or Batman just jumping from one building to the next. This was my movie but I had no clue on what was happening next. #solotravel . . . . . . . #travelblogger #travelphotography #historical #dubaiblogger #travelholic #travelgram #travelersnotebook #travelling #europetravel #budapest #instabudapest #traveller #wanderlust #wander #wanderer #wanderlove #wanderlost #wanderful_places #wanderers #globewanderer #theglobewanderer #theglobalwanderer #bluesky #eatsleepdubairepeat #backpackers #backpackers #backpackeurope #eatsleeptravelrepeat #mythology

Sometimes all you need is a couple of eggs and a glass of fresh OJ to leave the past behind and get ready for a new day. . . This Florentine Benedict on a brioche from the Cirkusz restaurant lived up to all the hype and is highly recommended for a quick morning fix in Budapest. . . . . . . . #eggs #eggfast #eggflorentine #eggsbenedict #eggsbenny #sunnysideup #plating #spinach #breakfast #breakfastofchampions #breakfastinbudapest #europetravel #wanderlust #eatsleepdubairepeat #eatsleeptravelrepeat #travelingnomad #dubaibloggers #uaebloggers #brioche #eggs🍳 #friedeggs #orange #orangejuice #oj #budapestfood #budapestrestaurant #budapestblog

There are plenty of restaurants that serve Middle Eastern food in Budapest. I tried quiet a few before stumbling upon the @falafelbarbudapest in district 7. Highly recommended for the special falafel wrap and for the extremely delicious and refreshing, house lemonade. . . . . . . . . . #hummus #hummusbar #falafel #falafelwrap #budapest #instabudapest #traveller #wanderlust #wander #wanderer #wanderlove #hungarianfood #budapestfood #budapestfoodguide #budapesteats #budapestblogger #lemon #lemonade #flatlay #flatlaystyle #flatlayfood #flatlaylover #eatsleepdubairepeat #dubaibloggers #woodentable #lemonslice #arabicfood #budapestrestaurant #foodphotography

So I took 2 weeks off from screens, social media, routine and the rat race to discover Budapest, one of the most important cities on the Iron curtain. Allow me to share some of the amazing food, restaurants, history and sights of this fabulous city with you in the coming week. . Pictured here is the Great Synagogue of Budapest. It is the largest synagogue in Europe and the second largest in the world. The onion shaped domes with gilded ornament are the reason why it looks like an oriental, Moorish building. Having been the first synagogue made in this style, it was so successful, that synagogues built later around the world were often designed in the same style. Due to the special Moorish influence, many think at first sight that the Great synagogue is in fact a mosque. . . . . #travelblogger #travelphotography #historical #dubaiblogger #travelholic #travelgram #travelersnotebook #travelling #europetravel #budapest #instabudapest #traveller #wanderlust #wander #wanderer #wanderlove #wanderlost #wanderful_places #wanderers #globewanderer #theglobewanderer #theglobalwanderer #globalcitizen #eatsleepdubairepeat #backpackers #backpackers #backpackeurope

My favourite dish of the evening was the Prawn Espedata. Espedata is the Portuguese term used for the technique of cooking meat on skewers. Let me warn you though, if you ask for hot and spicy, you better really mean it because Galitos definition of spicy is seriously hot!! There were tears rolling down my face but I loved every moment of it. @galitosuae . . . . . . . #newatgalitos #espedata #galitosuae #skewers #portuguesecooking #shrimps #portuguesefood #prawnskewers #seafood #periperi #portuguesefood #southafricanfood #durbanfood #dubaifoodie #hotsauce #dubaiblogger #hotsaucelover #hotsauceaddict #frenchfries🍟 #flamegrilled #southafricangirl #periperichicken #perishroom #frenchfries #chickensatay #chickenskewers #eatsleepdubairepeat #weirdfood #sweetpotatofries

Besides the soft tortilla and the fact that they were super spicy, the tacos had little similarity with their Mexican cousins. The chicken was shredded of course but all the flavour and taste came from the special Galitos sauce that it was marinated in.

One South African dish that I always wanted to try was the Borewors. These are traditional farmer’s sausages that are a staple at every working-class South African table. Traditionally, they are made from a blend of pork, lamb and beef which is why I never thought I would be able to try them but luckily, Galitos make their borewors from freshly ground beef. These sausages are hand made in store and the labour of love was evident in every bite. . They serve a chicken version called Zulu sausages as well but if you don’t like beef or lamb, don’t bother because the sausage casings are usually made of sheep intestines. They also make artificial casings now but even those are made from cellulose found in animal hides so you would still be able to taste the animal.

On one ordinary day of the year 1996, residents of Mpumalanga City in South Africa paired for the first time, the fiery hot sauces of a new eatery with the most succulent chicken they had ever tasted. Thus, began the journey of Galitos, a brand that soon expanded not just to other countries in Africa but ended up operating 150 restaurants in 15 countries all over the world.

Took a trip down to Ajman last night for the opening of the brand new McGettigans at the swanky @radissonbluajman hotel. All I can say is that nobody throws a party like the Irish. Congratulations to the residents of Ajman for having the option to experience true Irish hospitality right at their doorsteps. 📷 strawberrydaiquiri @mcgettigansajman . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #strawberrydaiquiri #refresh #daiquiri #strawberry #strawberrydrink #pinkdrink #visitajman #ajman #myajman #myuae #irishpub #irishpubs #irishhospitality #irishgirls #irishboys #irishblogger #dublinblogger #igersdublin #galwayblogger #igersgalway #eatsleepdubairepeat #uaebloggers #mcgettigans #mcgettigansajman #longweekend #longweekendvibes #strawberrymargarita #frozenmargarita

I have had fish in garlic butter sauce before but the Garlic, Butter and Honey Salmon was unlike anything I had tried before. The subtle honey flavour gave my palate something completely new to work with. It was salty of course but also just a little bit sweet. That, paired along with the rich butter sauce was enough to make me return for seconds.

I loved the spicy, crab in Thai green curry. I know Thai food is supposed to be hot but I don’t remember it ever being this spicy, even in Thailand! It may not work for everyone but I just couldn’t have enough of it. . There is something about hot chili that goes down so well with the soft and tender crab meat.

One trend that has caught on so well in Dubai is the ‘make your own pasta’ option that is available at many restaurants and brunches across the city. I think this is great because it gives you control over how you want your pasta to be. Unless it is a signature dish or a special creation by the chef, I am all about transferring control back to the customer. I call it eating out 2.0. This is where you decide the ingredients for your dish and if it doesn’t turn out the way you had expected, you have nobody else to blame but yourself. . . Chef Raheem at the live pasta station at Fusion ensured that we did not completely burn the boat. He was available on site and gently nudged us in the right direction if we appeared to be lost or got too carried away!

The pancake is not really a dessert item as I had previously believed. It has been a source of sustenance since the middle ages and could be eaten as a comfort food, celebratory dish, breakfast item, dessert or an appetiser! Pictured here is the caramel, banana and walnut pancake along with a cheese waffle from @pancakehouseuae The crunch from the walnuts complemented the soft bananas and fluffy pancakes in a way that can only be described after you have experienced so many delicious textures in one bite.

I learnt recently that a Salisbury Steak is not a steak. It is a sheep in wolves clothing. A more appropriate description would be ‘meatloaf that is shaped like a steak’. It is also served like a steak and is supposed to be eaten like a steak but it is not a steak. It is basically a dish made from a blend of ground beef and other ingredients, which is formed into oval shaped ‘steaks’ and served with brown sauce and rice. I am not sure how I felt about that but you should have seen the look on my face as I put a piece of this steak into my mouth after cutting it with a table knife.

If you like seafood, I would like to suggest the Tagliatelle Seafood Gambero. This dish was enhanced by so many contrasting textures in each bite. This fettuccine shaped pasta was tossed marinara style-in a tangy tomato herb sauce while the cream dory, mussel and shrimp provided additional flavor and texture to this seafood pasta.

To ensure that the pancake is not flattened under the shadow of better-known dishes, the very first section of the Pancake House menu lists variations of the item that made it famous when it first opened its doors to public in the 1970s. Naturally, if the first thing you see on the menu are pictures of glorious, fluffy pancakes, it is hard to go further without ordering at least one. Once I was done with that, I was able to explore the rest of their menu as well.

I am not sure if I have ever had cheesecake that is this good in the UAE before. It was served in a mug because of its consistency and that was the main reason behind the magic. Think of it like a wonderfully flavorful, warm, gooey mass of cream cheese with a lavish sprinkling of crunch that essentially would form the base in ordinary cheesecakes.

I can truly understand why the Ming Family has kept their recipe for ‘sweet and sour chicken wings’ hidden for so long. This is the kind of recipe that could have led to wars and invasions and all kinds of nasty things. It’s a good thing that we are all ‘kind of’ civilised now and have ‘sort of’ stopped invading other countries; which is why the Ming family has decided to bring this centuries-old secret recipe to the forefront and yes just like everything else on the menu, you can now go and order yourself a plate of history, at the Ming’s Chamber in Abu Dhabi.
